Paper Garlands

Our sewn paper garlands are where it all began back in 2015!

As with all our decor our paper garlands are designed and handmade by us in Scotland.
We create decorations we want to use and our artisan approach means attention to detail at every stage.

What makes our sewn paper garlands special.

We set out to make our original painted and sewn paper garlands different from everything else that was available at the time by making:

• every strand unique
• generously filled strands
• colour/painted on both sides
• ends finished for easy hanging

Since these first designs all our sewn paper garlands are also: 

• lightweight
• easy to store
• easy to use and personalise a space

Made in Scotland

Sustainable, ethical production

• We keep our carbon footprint to an absolute minimum sourcing our materials as close to home as possible. 
  
• We constantly strive to create a balance between using sustainable materials with the greatest longevity and quality of the final piece. 
  
• Our original sample garlands we made back in 2015, are still going strong as the day they were made and hang colourfully in our studio. See FAQ for care instructions.

Across this collection we use:

• Recycled papers (some of which were old coffee cups!)
  
• FSC sustainable papers - the vast majority milled in the UK some in France. We love to work with Bockingford watercolour paper from St Cuthbert's Mill. (see our FAQ to find out more about this UK heritage process)
  
• All materials waste is kept to a minimum in how we paint and cut our shapes.
  Risograph garlands
• All risograph printed garlands use recycled paper. 
• Very energy efficient printing method.
  
• Non-toxic, soy based inks.

Handcrafted, artisan paper garlands so you can express your colour story.

Add artistic whimsy to your everyday home decor or personalise rented accommodation. Keep them up year round or swap them out for a seasonal refresh.

When you buy our handmade paper garlands you're getting our years of creative and technical experience in making these items. We make things we love, and we love sharing them with you.
